Sylvanian Families

[thelittlemermaid83]

Thanks Claire, I'm going to start buying stuff soon so that by her Birthday and Christmas she will have a fair few bits.

The shop is great, though smaller than you might expect!

They have loads of really nice stuff though (some imported from Japan so you can only get it from the shop or their website - my daughter got a lovely Halloween set there last year) - so be warned!

The prices are usually a bit cheaper in the shop than on the website as they include delivery on the website.

Oh, and there's a club you can join too - it's only £10 for a year which includes 2 figures (grandparents, very cute with little glasses!) as well as 4 magazines which my dd loves getting. I thought that was very reasonable seeing as 2 figures would cost at least £6-£7, if not more, to buy.

I can see this turning out very costly

I was looking at the bakery which looks really cute. I saw that Halloween set, how adorable...I can see myslef playing with this more than DD

I have decided to get her the Rose cottage its only £20 in Argos at the moment and it comes with a figure, I will get some furniture for the house aswell and then get the shop or bakery for her Birthday.

For Christmas that is a different story I love the Grand Hotel.....

 

[MinnieMouse73]

We started with the Rose Cottage ...

The Grand Hotel is top of dd's wish list

Maybe we'll have to get together for the Boots Christmas 3 for 2s!

 

[MinnieMouse73]

Good plan, although last year when it was in the 3 for 2 it was always out of stock.

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

Oooh i didnt realise they did 3 for 2 in Boots on Sylvanian stuff.....

 

[MinnieMouse73]

Well they did if you could ever get hold of it. I checked every day and it was never available on line. There were some of the chaper sets available though, I can't remember what, but not the Grand Hotel.

etc sorry just realised you meant Sylvanian stuff in general!

 

[MinnieMouse73]

Just looked and they do have a few sets on Boots.com at the moment (full price), could be handy if you have lots of advantage points saved up?

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

I have been looking at getting Kyra the Car and caravan.

Does anyone know when boots 3 for 2 usually starts?

 

[wils]

End of October?

The caravan looks cute

The caravan looks cute

It should look cute for the amount it costs

I think I will see if Boots will have it before i order it. I still need to find the furniture that will fit the cottage i brought her.

 

[wils]

I got the catalogue today.

If your not sure what you need I can look it up for you

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

I'm still waiting for my copy that i ordered back in April

I need the furniture that fits applewood cottage, I'm hoping it wont break the bank to furnish the house.

I think I got my first Sylvanian figure when I was 3 - 23 years later I still have all of it including houses, bakery, caravan, bus, boat and families! My mum had 5 boxes of it shipped over to Florida when they moved

(in fact when I was over there last year I was bored one rainy afternoon and got some of it out to play with but, sssh, don't tell anyone )

It is v expensive but I have seen stuff in TKMaxx occasionally so its worth looking there!

My DD wants them for Christmas too, luckily my mum has offered to get the house so I just need to get the furniture and some families. Must admit I was shocked by how expensive they are however hopefully it can be something DD can keep as a collectors item once she has out grown playing with it.

What house does she want?

My mum was going to get the Hotel untill she saw how much it was and that it came with like no furniture
